About the author Thomas Osborne, MD

My earliest childhood memories are from when my family lived on a farm in upstate NY. From that point on, I have been fascinated with plants. My early understanding of botany became the foundation upon which I later learned other fields of science.
In medical school, residency, and fellowship, my passion for plants was temporarily neglected as my classmates and I tried to optimized every hour to become the best doctors possible. Now that I have finally completed my medical training, the time demands haven’t really slowed down much. However, I am working to find balance, and one of the best place for me to do that is in the garden.
In the process of transforming the landscape of our home, I created this website that was initially intended to be a personal reference for my gardening experiments and experiences. To my delight, TastyLandscape.com has become a global forum for shared knowledge about growing plants for food.
Thank you, and looking forward to hearing from you.
